To a/ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH H.

opposite sides, as shown, to provide oblique surfaces g g while the edges h h are slightly beveled. y

G designates a conical sleeve orl ferrule which is secured to the lower end of the dasherstaff immediately above the blades. The object ol this conical sleeve or ferrule is to part the cream and force it out upon the oblique faces of the blades.
